Nose: rather fruity, with golden raisins and plums, but also a hint of red fruit jam. Then a lot of vanilla cake too, making it quite creamy and sweet. Getting quite aromatic, on strawberry and apricot. Caramelized almonds. We pick up a subtle sea breeze, but other than that there’s very little of the Campbeltown funk.

Mouth: more vinous now, red fruits are still present but also fresh wood adding a slight harshness. Peppery notes, green woody touches and a subtle resinous edge. Some spirity notes. Still a creamy caramel touch in the background. The salty notes are coming forward after a while, as well as some woody heat.

Finish: quite long, a bit hot, with plenty of spice, kirsch and firm woody notes.
